Here in Central Florida, we loooove to talk about cooperation.
And "regionalism." And being a "family of communities."
Heck, if you can dream up a new catchphrase for "group hug," local leaders will not only embrace it, they'll throw gobs of money at it.
We're talking millions of dollars on everything from "visioning" exercises to consultant reports — all designed to make Central Florida look like the United Republic of Kumbaya.
Unfortunately, looks can be deceiving.
Just last week, local officials balked at a splendid plan for regionalism — a proposal to combine the road-tolling authorities in Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties.
The plan from Sens. Andy Gardiner and David Simmons could cut costs, streamline bureaucracy — and maybe even reduce tolls.
I say: Hallelujah!
Unfortunately, local leaders said: Waaahhh!
Like a bunch of petulant and territorial toddlers, one elected official after another whined about the prospect of being forced to work together — and, heaven forbid, save the public money.
Orange County's expressway leader expressed skepticism.
A Seminole County commissioner accused Orange officials of "trying to stack the deck in their favor."
And an Osceola commissioner said he didn't even understand the purpose.
This after these three groups collectively pumped hundreds of thousands of dollars into exercises promoting regional cooperation.
Welcome to regionalism in Central Florida — where yapping trumps action.
You see, cooperation means compromise. And no one wants to compromise in the dirty little world of road building.
Why? Because those who build roads wield great power. Granting an interchange on a busy new road can be like granting landowners a license to print money.
Suddenly, the owner of a rural, do-nothing patch of land has a bonanza on his hands. He can sell land to gas stations, restaurants and homebuilders.
A cow pasture worth $20,000 an acre can suddenly have $100,000 an acre in potential.
The massive money at stake is why the Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority has long been mired in controversy — with conflicts of interests and accusations of "pay for play."

Read an Excerpt
January 20, 1993. We were going home. For four extraordinary years, home had been the White House, but when we woke up that morning, it felt like a foreign place. Our bed, along with our tables and chairs, already were in Texas. George had been telling people that I almost had gone, too. He was right. Once we lost the election, I had tried to ignore the hurt and turned my mind toward Houston and a new life.
George, on the other hand, was presidential until the very last moment. He worried about the staff and where they would go. And he had to cope with the larger problems of Iraq, Somalia, and... see more

- A left bar that includes the main navigation,
- A right bar,
- A main content area,
- A footer.
When styles are not applied to a document (or when using a screen reader), the 5 areas are read in the above order.
The first link in every document links to our home page. The second link is a "SkipNav"; it is to skip directly to what is considered the main section of the page (the content). The third link is to skip directly to the main navigation links.
The small icons that appear at the top right corner of each page are used to:
- Skip directly to the content section,
- Skip directly to the navigation menu,
- Set text size to 0"90%" - 3 columns layout,

Additional Navigation Aids
Articles and Tutorials that include more than one page use the <link> tag to point to the previous and next document. All documents in the main section are linked to the Home page.
Netscape and Mozilla users can turn on the Site Navigation Bar to take advantage of these LINK-based navigation aids. ["View" menu, "Show/Hide", "Site Navigation Bar", "Show Only As Needed"].
FireBird and FireFox users can install a link toolbar extension, available at mozdev.org.
With rare exceptions, pages on this site use structured semantic markup. H2 tags are used for subtitles. JAWS users should be able to skip sections by pressing ALT+INSERT+2.
To ensure that event handlers are input device-independent, the w3C recommends (section 12.4) providing redundant mechanisms, as specifying two handlers for the same element; for example using "onclick" with "onkeypress". Unfortunately, as far as I know, this technique is counter-productive in browsers that trigger onkeypress values when the Tab key is pressed (in MSIE, the user needs to use the Enter key once the link has focus). This is a serious issue that puts an end to Tabbing Navigation as soon as the user reaches such link. I'm aware of the problem, but decided to go "by the book" and follow the W3C recommendation.
As a side note, if our navigation menu on the left hand side is "device-independant" it is because we chose not to use the onkeypress event handler.

Probably an Hellenized Jew. One of the seven Jerusalem deacons mentioned in the canonical Acts of the Apostles. Preached and performed miracles in Samaria, converting many including the magician Simon Magus. Commanded by an angel, he travelled from Jerusalem to Gaza. Converted and baptized the eunuch of Queen Candace of Ethiopia. Transported to Azotus, he preached throughout the region, finally returning to Caesarea where he lived with his four daughters, virgins with the gift of prophecy. Met with Saint Paul the Apostle on his last journey to Jerusalem. Some traditions say be became bishop of Tralles (modern Aydin, Turkey).

At times it has seemed like Nebraska head coach Tim Miles and the Huskers haven't been able to catch a break in the schedule early on in the season – it continues Saturday. The Wildcats are one of the hottest teams in the Big Ten, with two straight top 25 wins over No. 22 Illinois and at home against the No. 14 Minnesota Golden Gophers.
The Huskers are coming off a 20-point loss to Illinois on Tuesday night, in which they were outplayed in all phases of the game.
In his post-game press conference, Miles used the terms 'worst' and 'embarrassing' to describe his teams rebounding effort. Defense and rebounding hadn't been a concern all season, but after being outplayed by Illinois, questions continue to arise.
"I've coached a lot of games at a lot of different levels, and I don't think that I've ever been this disappointed or embarrassed in one area of the game. You have to credit Illinois," said Miles. "We'd miss a block, give up a rebound and turn it over. It would be the same kid making the same mistakes in a row. That tells you a lot about our mentality and where we were. We weren't where we needed to be."
Despite All-Big Ten performer, Drew Crawford, being lost for the season, the Wildcats have been solid at the guard position all year. Senior shooting guard Reggie Hearn tallied 20 points at the win at Illinois, and a 22 performance to lead the Wildcats to the upset win over the Golden Gophers.
Nebraska's biggest concern at this point is the play of freshman forward Shavon Shields. After a 29-point outburst against the Penn State Nittany Lions, the Illini focused in on the freshman and held him to just two points. Shields also fouled out late in the game.
"I think it was being a freshman," said Miles. "Now you've played pretty good and a hopped up opponent is going to come after you, and I don't think he responded very well. But he'll learn from it."
The Huskers and Wildcats have only faced each other once once since Nebraska joined the Big Ten. Northwestern took control of the game early last winter, despite a 15-point comeback in the second half by the Huskers, eventually falling 84-74.
Nebraska and Northwestern square of Saturday at 2pm CT on Big Ten Network, at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.

Greuther Fuerth hires U23 Hoffenheim coach Kramer - 0 Comments
FUERTH, Germany — Greuther Fuerth has hired Frank Kramer from Hoffenheim as its new coach with immediate effect.
Kramer was in charge of the under-23 side in Hoffenheim and coached the Bundesliga team in two games on an interim basis and lost both of them.
Greuther Fuerth is last in the Bundesliga and likely to return to the second division after one season. It lost 3-0 at home to Hoffenheim on Saturday to remain seven points from the relegation playoff spot.
The club fired Mike Buskens last month and Ludwig Preis was the interim coach for three games.

- Directions to MD Anderson
Program Overview
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), represent a heterogeneous group of malignancies that present unique challenges to pathologists. AML can also arise from MDS or myeloproliferative neoplasms and the genetic mechanisms of transformation are largely unknown. The advent of molecular diagnostics has heralded an explosion in new prognostic markers and many new entities were described in the recently published World Health Organization (WHO) classification of neoplasms of the hematopoietic system. Combined with sequencing and proteomic profiling, these technologies have helped identify new targets and signaling pathways, and may soon help to identify individual patients likely to benefit from specific therapies. Thus, this activity is designed to bring the spectrum of hematopoietic diseases to a forum for updating diagnostic criteria, pathophysiologic mechanisms and discussion. A unique aspect of this workshop is that we anticipate participation of expert hematopathologists, hematologists and oncologists from around the world.
Educational Objectives
After attending the conference, participants should be able to
- Appraise current WHO categories, and identify areas of diagnostic difficulty (Knowledge, Competence, Performance);
- Correlate the advances in molecular diagnostics and the molecular pathogenesis of these tumors (Knowledge, Competence);
- Connect new clinical approaches to treatment and monitoring of patients with AML, MDS and ALL to hematopathology practice (Knowledge, Competence, Performance, Patient Outcomes).
Target Audience
The course is designed for physicians and other health professionals in hematopathology, pathology, hematology and oncology.
Educational Methods
Lectures - Case Studies - Questions and Answers - Audience Response System
A course evaluation form will provide participants with the opportunity to comment on the value of the program content to their practice decisions, performance improvement activities, or possible impact on patient health status. Participants will also have the opportunity to comment on any perceived commercial bias in the presentations as well as to identify future educational topics.
Accreditation/Credit Designation
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center designates this live activity for a maximum of 18.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
CME Certificates and Attendance Verification Certificates
Certificates awarding AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ or certificates documenting attendance will be distributed to participants as they depart the conference. To obtain a CME certificate, physicians must submit a completed evaluation questionnaire and a CME Verification Form.
Upon request, a record of attendance (certificate) will be provided on-site to other health care professionals for requesting credits in accordance with state nursing boards, specialty societies, or other professional associations.
SAM Credits
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Department of Hematopathology is approved by the American Board of Pathology (ABP) to provide Self-Assessment Module (SAM) credits. SAM credits are necessary to meet the ABP maintenance of certification requirements. SAM credits will be available for this conference.

LINCOLN — The first meeting between the president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe and Nebraska's governor could prove to be the last.
The two leaders met Monday at the State Capitol to discuss the flash point issue of alcohol sales in the northwest Nebraska border town of Whiteclay. According to accounts from both sides, the meeting, scheduled for one hour, lasted just a few minutes.
President Bryan Brewer said he walked out after Gov. Dave Heineman said it was not up to Nebraska to solve alcohol problems on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota.
"He said, 'It's not my problem, it's your problem. Solve it,' " Brewer said.
Jen Rae Wang, the governor's communications director who was present at the meeting, gave a far different account. When the governor asked Brewer what was being done by the tribe to provide treatment for those addicted to alcohol, Brewer refused to accept responsibility.
"The president started by being very confrontational and said he didn't have any responsibility for this," Wang said. "That was a theme he said over and over again."
Brewer, who requested the meeting, had hoped to persuade the governor to close Whiteclay's beer stores, which sell mainly to residents of the reservation, where alcohol is banned.
The four off-sale beer stores sold the equivalent of nearly 4 million cans of beer last year. Most of that beer and malt liquor ends up on the reservation, where alcohol-related deaths, assaults and child abuse are rampant.
At a press conference Monday afternoon, Brewer accused the governor of having "blood on his hands" for not doing something to stop the exploitation of Lakota people. He said he will not deal with the governor in the future.
"I don't know why he's mad at me," Brewer said. "I don't know why he agreed to meet with me."
At a previously scheduled press conference Monday before the meeting, the governor said the Whiteclay stores sell a legal product. Unless store owners break the law, the State of Nebraska cannot revoke their liquor licenses, Heineman said.
"I'm going to suggest to President Brewer that on the reservation, they need to have more action on treatment of alcohol abuse," Heineman said. "Let's tackle the problem head on. I think that's where they can improve."
On the reservation that's home to about 50,000 people, there is just one drug and alcohol treatment center, Brewer said.
Other than agreeing that the meeting was short, the two sides in the dispute gave sharply differing portrayals of what happened Monday.
According to Wang, the governor reserved an hour for the meeting and made sure that his top advisers, including Lt. Gov. Lavon Heidemann, State Patrol Col. David Sankey and Chief of Staff Larry Bare, were present.
The two leaders shook hands and a "press person" who accompanied Brewer asked to take a picture of them, Wang said. The governor declined because, he said, Brewer had previously requested that there be no press coverage of the meeting.
The president refused to accept responsibility for problems caused by alcohol, Wang said. He then took a political turn by bringing up campaign contributions that Heineman has accepted from the alcohol industry.
"The governor responded by saying he takes issue with the president calling into question his integrity," Wang said.
According to Brewer's account, he had been instructed before the meeting to bring no one with him. He honored the request, saying he did not have anyone with him.
Another person in the room did ask about a photo, to which the governor said: "Absolutely not."
"I feel this was a form of disrespect," Brewer said.
Shortly after the two sat down, Heineman placed an article on the table, highlighting how it reported that the governor has accepted campaign contributions from the liquor industry.
The governor wanted to know what Brewer's motive was in requesting the meeting.
The article was published by Alcohol Justice, a group working to bring an end to alcohol sales in Whiteclay, but Brewer said he had nothing to do with it.
A World-Herald review of campaign finance reports found that Heineman received nearly $164,000 in contributions from liquor interests from 2005 to 2012.
Between two and three minutes into the meeting, Brewer said, he stood up and left.
Despite years of protests and efforts to bring attention to the problems in Whiteclay, the situation remains largely unchanged. But a different approach could be on the horizon.
The Oglala Tribal Council voted last month to allow tribal members to decide whether to legalize the sale and consumption of alcohol on the reservation. Supporters of legalization say it would allow the tribe to generate revenue that could be directed to treatment while reducing the common practice of bootlegging. Some also hope it would drive the Whiteclay stores out of business.
A date for the referendum has not been selected.
In the meantime, Brewer said, he is moving forward with plans to set up a "port of entry" on reservation land just north of Whiteclay. Vehicles coming onto the reservation will be searched for alcohol and other contraband. He would like to establish checkpoints at other locations on the reservation as well.
Both sides said the outcome of Monday's meeting was unfortunate.
"The president was clearly not interested in having an open and honest conversation related to these difficult, sad and sometimes tragic issues occurring on the sovereign land with the sovereign people over whom the president governs," Wang said.
Said Brewer: "I shook his hand. Now I wish I didn't."
World-Herald staff writer Martha Stoddard contributed to this report.

RPCVw presents
From Peace Corps Wiki
July 24, 2008
Please join RPCVW for a happy hour to learn more about the Peace Corps Wiki, a website that uses "wiki technology" with the goal to engage the Peace Corps community and the public thus making Peace Corps more effective and relevant.
- Date: July 24, 2008
- Time: 6-8pm
- Place: Recessions, 1823 L Street, NW #1, Washington, DC 20036
- http://www.recessionsdc.com/happy_hour.htm
Their specials from 5 to 8pm are:
$3.00, 28 oz. of domestic beers (Bud Lite and Michelob), $3.00, house liquors $3.00, appetizers
We will be doing several presentations: 20 slides, 20 seconds for each slide based on photos and items from service. Most of the volunteers have an accompanying blog and online photos... should be about 3 to 5 presentations with an intro to the wiki and journals sites.
Recently Returned?
...You're On! The first thing Peace Corps Wiki Organizer Will Dickinson (RPCV, Armenia 2004-2006) wanted to do when he arrived back in the U.S. was to talk and show his photos of his experience in Peace Corps. He said he usually lost people's interest in about 10 minutes or less. Yet, here's a chance to show your whole PC experience in under 7 minutes! Its a great experience in trying to get your mind around the experience. Most of the RPCVs in the DC area have been back for a few years; however, if you've been back for less than two years (in other words, less time than when you were in your host country of service) you'll have a unique perspective of your PC experience that's still relatively fresh. Maybe you haven't collected your thoughts. That doesn't matter because your experience provides us the current state of each Peace Corps country overseas, and helps us relive some of our personal travel adventures.
Did Peace Corps make you a better story teller? ....DAH! Of Course!
Please tell a story, don't just show us a bunch of photos of cliche exotic places and people doing unusual and unrelated tasks. If you have a friend that's a photographer, Will highly recommends that you have your work reviewed so the sequences make sense and tells us something deeper about your service.
As we all know, give a RPCV a podium and a chance to talk and you'll be trapped for hours with fascinating stories of adventures. The key is to keep things moving by only allowing each presenter 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds - giving you 6 minutes and 40 seconds of fame before the next presenter is up. This keeps the presentations concise, the interest level up, and gives more people the chance to show their material.
This format is designed to tap into a demand for a forum in which stories, work, and experiences can be easily and informally shown, without having to rent a gallery or chat up a magazine editor.
No Blog/Journal? ....No Worries!
Maybe you had a blog, maybe you didn't; but during Peace Corps it's likely that you did a lot of writing. Maybe you sent it home by email or snail mail. Whatever the case, a documentation of your life and service is one of the cornerstones of your Peace Corps experience. Celebrate 5 years of the Peace Corps Journals and 1 year for the Peace Corps Wiki by sharing your experience at this Happy Hour. The Journals and Wiki have been developed and supported independently of any organizations by several recently returned volunteers and small donations. We hope that your unique stories, tales and presentations embody the independence and initial creative impetus behind the PC Journals and Wiki.
How did journal writing or blogging effect change in those in not in Country? Did it alert your community at home just what it was like to service in another country? Did it reveal something about America or the PeaceCorps that you never expected?
To keep the interest of the diverse audience, please use this
opportunity to sequentially tell about your experience so that each
image builds on the next.
What is 20 slides, 20 seconds each?
- Presentation: Each person shows 20 images. You have 20 seconds to
show each image. You have no control over this. It will be programmed
on a computer, so you should be fast and we recommend you practice
your presentation.
- Format: 20 images in JPEG format (size: 1024 x 768 px., landscape
orientation). Keep your images under 450 KB each (already compressed).
- Naming: Name your images with your initials followed by consecutive
numbers, i.e. PJ-001.jpg, PJ-002.jpg, PJ-003.jpg, etc. Please practice
your presentation beforehand to make sure your slides are named
correctly. Please follow the format, if you don't name your images
correctly the computer will order them in a wrong way and it can
affect your presentation. This also makes it easier for us to run the
show and handle a large amount of images : )
- Sending: Once you have your images, please e-mail them to us (no
later than a day before the event). We usually have a page with a
preview image of each presenter before each event, so please also send
us an image that you want for your thumbnail.
- Schedule: The doors open at 6pm (18:00) & the first presentation
starts at 18:40.
Credits: This presentation format is modeled after: Pecha Kucha http://www.klein-dytham.com/pechakucha/what
We have alerted the Pecha Kucha chapter of DC about our event and they look forward to
working with us in the future.
Tips for presentations:
Example gallery: http://pechakucha-sf.com/html/Gallery_Vol12/gallery_wd.htm
DETAILS …..changed slightly from the guidelines of Pecha Kucha SF…….
1. Let us know your full name and title (i.e. Staff, Volunteer, Country, Years of Service, etc.)
2. Send us a preview image by e-mail. This will be published on the website prior to the event.
1. Please make sure you have your 20 images ready at least two days before the event or have them ready to go on flash drive per the formatting instructions below. Please email them to me or Corey. There are several presenters on every event, we can't afford to waste time setting up images.
2. PLEASE follow the format below, we have had some presenters not respecting the format in the past and this brings technical issues during presentations. If you name your images correctly there should be no disordered images. We use a software called Picasa (by Google) to run the slide show, it makes a nice fade between slides and it is programmed to show every slide for 20 seconds only (so either you or us have control over that).
3. Format:
-Save your images in JPEG format (size: 1024px by 768px)…. Is optimal
-Landscape orientation is preferred in order to maximize the viewable area of the screen, but Picasa will adjust the size of a portrait image in order to fit the screen.
-Keep your images under 450 KB each (we recommend using the "save for web" option in Photoshop to keep images light).
-Once you have them all ready, zip them and e-mail them to us (it makes it a lot easier for you and for us to send them altogether in one zip folder than all separately).
-Please use the following naming format to make sure your slides are in correct order (but use your
initials instead of "FL"):
For example: to avoid having your slide #10 before your slide #2 (the computer will read FL_0010.jpg
before FL_002.jpg), make sure you use the above naming format.
The best thing to do to make sure your slides are in correct order is to rehearse before the event. Sort
your images by name and practice your talk.
If you are a Mac user, make sure your images run well on PC before sending them to us.
Also, just a friendly reminder that PC presents is not a venue for sales pitches, so any presentation
with a commercial intent or a corporate promotion will NOT be welcome.
Have fun, remember that you only have 400 seconds on stage.

Sounds like a main line backup.
My wife noticed some moisture on the floor around the toilet Friday morning, so I figured the wax ring in our front bathroom went kaput. Pulled the toilet, and there was a big waxy mess, so I scraped up everything I could, cleaned it all off, and set the new ring in place. I had never done this before, but I didn't nick the wax or anything like that - I was pretty careful to set the ring in place and lay the toilet on it evenly. No visible leaks yet (knock on wood).
But now, while taking a shower, we're having a problem with bubbling coming up from not only the toilet that's in the same bathroom, but also bubbling from the toilet in our master bathroom (which is currently undergoing an "extended remodel" - toilet hasn't been flushed in months). That toilet is at least 20 feet away.
Everything else seems to be draining properly. The washer (which is nearby) doesn't seem to cause any bubbles.
Any ideas? Partial blockage? Snake it out? Thanks!
Sounds like a main line backup.
Terry, you're right. I feared the worst, and I think I got it.
I uncorked the outside cleanout cap and all kinds of fun stuff came out. Blech! Main line to the street is clogged up pretty good, it seems. Now I'm an amateur - toughest plumbing job I've ever done is installed a sink, all associated plumbing, and garbage disposal. Would it be unwise to rent a power auger for this job? I'm pretty poor at the moment and am terrified at getting ripped by a local guy. Plus I'd like to learn how so if this ever happens again..
Operating a sewer machine takes practice.Iwould get a pro.
Better off in the long run.
Alright.. I'll be calling one tomorrow, most likely. Any guesses on price for this type of work? Thanks.
You could try calling your sewer district. Sometimes they can be helpful in recommending companies to do the work or in offering other advice. Mine will send someone over to put a camera down the main and find out where the problem is. Not all districts are as helpful as mine, but it might be worth a phone call to find out.
I found a local guy who's pretty reputable and has great prices.
Quick question.. and one I probably already know the answer to. If I leave the cleanout uncapped, is it a bad idea to use the toilet or shower? The cleanout is in an inconspicuous area, and I don't mind if some yuck water or poo flows out - I can clean it up later (since there's already some around the cleanout).

Amtrak is advancing a plan to acquire next-generation high-speed trainsets and ending a plan to purchase 40 additional high-speed cars for the existing Acela Express fleet to better meet growing Northeast Corridor (NEC) ridership, President and Chief Executive Joseph Boardman announced yesterday. In early 2013, Amtrak will issue a request for information to formally start the process to replace the existing 20 Acela Express trainsets and add trainsets to expand capacity and provide more frequent high-speed service on the corridor, Boardman said during testimony yesterday before a House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee hearing. "Moving directly to new high-speed trainsets is the best option to create more seating capacity, permit higher speeds and maximize customer comfort all while improving equipment reliability and reducing operating costs," Boardman said in a statement issued after the hearing. Amtrak's previous plan to add 40 new rail cars with newer technology to replace the older Acela trainsets was a stop-gap measure, posed technical challenges and was determined not to be cost efficient or sufficient to manage new ridership growth projections for the NEC, he said. During the past two years, Amtrak has advanced major proposals designed to address NEC's growth and development needs, Boardman said. The proposals are detailed in the "Amtrak Vision for the Northeast Corridor 2012 Update Report," and include a plan to upgrade the NEC to a state of good repair, add capacity to allow limited service growth and make targeted trip-time improvements for all existing intercity, commuter and freight services. The plan includes the Gateway program to build track, tunnel and station capacity into the heart of Manhattan. The next step is the next-generation high-speed rail program to provide the NEC with 220-mph service. With possible operating profits of more than $1 billion annually and annual ridership of 40 million upon full build-out, Amtrak officials anticipate that private capital — likely in the form of a public-private partnership — could become part of the project, Boardman said. International high-speed rail experience shows that "only after the public sector has allocated enough funding and committed itself to to a project of this magnitude that the private sector is willing to enter the dal and deliver value for the money," he said. "Once these services are generating revenue streams, these projects can and will attract private funding that can help repay initial capital costs," Boardman added. In fiscal-year 2012, Amtrak transported a record 31.2 million riders on its Northeast Corridor services. Today, Amtrak carries three riders for every one airline passenger between New York City and Washington, D.C., and carries more passengers between New York City and Boston than all the airlines combined, Boardman said.

He flourished on a signature ability: a technique for cheating the electric company by slowing down the revolutions of its meters, so cunningly performed that his customers could specify to the hundred-rupee note the desired monthly savings. In this Pakistani desert, behind Multan, where the tube wells pumped from the aquifer day and night, Nawab's discovery eclipsed the philosopher's stone. Some thought he used magnets, others said heavy oil or porcelain chips or a substance he found in beehives. Skeptics reported that he had a deal with the meter men. In any case, this trick guaranteed Nawab's employment, both off and on the farm of his patron, K. K. Harouni.
The farm lay strung along a narrow and pitted farm-to-market road, built in the nineteen-seventies, when Harouni still had influence in the Islamabad bureaucracy. Buff or saline-white desert dragged out between fields of sugarcane and cotton, mango orchards and clover and wheat, soaked daily by the tube wells that Nawabdin Electrician tended. Beginning the rounds of Nurpur Harouni on his itinerant mornings, summoned to a broken pump, Nawab and his bicycle bumped along, decorative plastic flowers swaying on wires sprouting from the frame. His tools, notably a three-pound ball-peen hammer, clanked in a greasy leather bag suspended from the handlebars. The farmhands and the manager waited in the cool of the banyans, planted years earlier to shade each of the tube wells. "No tea, no tea," Nawab insisted, waving away the steaming cup.
Hammer dangling from his hand like a savage's axe, Nawab entered the oily room housing the pump and its electric motor. Silence. The men crowded the doorway till he shouted that he must have light. He approached the offending object warily but with his temper rising, circled it, pushed it about a bit, began to take liberties with it, settled in with it, called for a cup of tea next to it, and finally began disassembling it. With his long, blunt screwdriver he cracked the shields hiding the machine's penetralia, a screw popping loose and flying into the shadows. He took the ball-peen and delivered a crafty blow. The intervention failed. Pondering the situation, he ordered one of the farmworkers to find a really thick piece of leather and to collect sticky mango sap from a nearby tree. So it went, all morning and into the afternoon, Nawab trying one thing and then another, heating the pipes, cooling them, joining wires together, circumventing switches and fuses. And yet somehow, in fulfillment of the local genius for crude improvisation, the pumps continued to run.
Unfortunately or fortunately, Nawab had married early in life a sweet woman of unsurpassed fertility, whom he adored, and she proceeded to bear him children spaced, if not less than nine months apart, then not that much more. And all daughters, one after another after another, until finally the looked-for son arrived, leaving Nawab with a complete set of twelve girls, ranging from toddler to age eleven, and one odd piece. If he had been governor of the Punjab, their dowries would have beggared him. For an electrician and mechanic, no matter how light-fingered, there seemed no question of marrying them all off. No moneylender in his right mind would, at any rate of interest, advance a sufficient sum to buy the necessary items for each daughter: beds, a dresser, trunks, electric fans, dishes, six suits of clothes for the groom, six for the bride, perhaps a television, and on and on and on.
Another man might have thrown up his hands—but not Nawabdin. The daughters acted as a spur to his genius, and he looked with satisfaction in the mirror each morning at the face of a warrior going out to do battle. Nawab of course knew that he must proliferate his sources of revenue—the salary he received from K. K. Harouni for tending the tube wells would not even begin to suffice. He set up a one-room flour mill, run off a condemned electric motor—condemned by him. He tried his hand at fish-farming in a pond at the edge of one of his master's fields. He bought broken radios, fixed them, and resold them. He did not demur even when asked to fix watches, although that enterprise did spectacularly badly, and earned him more kicks than kudos, for no watch he took apart ever kept time again.
K. K. Harouni lived mostly in Lahore and rarely visited his farms. Whenever the old man did visit, Nawab would place himself night and day at the door leading from the servants' sitting area into the walled grove of ancient banyan trees where the old farmhouse stood. Grizzled, his peculiar aviator glasses bent and smudged, Nawab tended the household machinery, the air-conditioners, water heaters, refrigerators, and pumps, like an engineer tending the boilers on a foundering steamer in an Atlantic gale. By his superhuman efforts, he almost managed to maintain K. K. Harouni in the same mechanical cocoon, cooled and bathed and lighted and fed, that the landowner enjoyed in Lahore.
Harouni, of course, became familiar with this ubiquitous man, who not only accompanied him on his tours of inspection but could be found morning and night standing on the master bed rewiring the light fixture or poking at the water heater in the bathroom. Finally, one evening at teatime, gauging the psychological moment, Nawab asked if he might say a word. The landowner, who was cheerfully filing his nails in front of a crackling rosewood fire, told him to go ahead.
"Sir, as you know, your lands stretch from here to the Indus, and on these lands are fully seventeen tube wells, and to tend these seventeen tube wells there is but one man, me, your servant. In your service I have earned these gray hairs"—here he bowed his head to show the gray—"and now I cannot fulfill my duties as I should. Enough, sir, enough. I beg you, forgive me my weakness. Better a darkened house and proud hunger within than disgrace in the light of day. Release me, I ask you, I beg you."

Police have not released any other information into the shooting death of 22-year-old Jarvis Corenell Brown.
After talking to people living off of the 2500 block of Woodland Dr. in Charlottesville, we discovered that many of them did not know Brown, but one man did say that he worked with him.
Brown worked at the Sabarros restaurant at one of UVa's dining halls, known as the Crossroads.
Many of his co-workers say he was a nice guy and they enjoyed working with him, but Charlottesville police still have not released information on whether they have a suspect in Brown's death.
On Thursday morning police responded to a 911 call around 3:15 AM. Brown's body was discovered at roadside this morning in the 2500 block of Woodland Dr., the apparent victim of a gunshot.
Investigators ask that if you have any information on the case to call Crime Stoppers at (434) 977-4000.

Tokyoflash doesn't make the world wait too long for new watch releases; the latest addition to the lineup is the Kisai LCD Zone. This all stainless steel watch rocks an "always on" LCD display and is completely redesigned from the ground up.
Although the face looks like a cryptic number system it's actually quite easy to read. The hours, minutes, and seconds are displayed on the top, middle, and lower parts of the display in a rounded S-like pattern. At first look this new display almost reminds me of the bomb countdown timer on the Predator's wrist which really adds a few points to the geek factor. Of course there is still an EL backlight for night use, the date, an alarm, and some pretty cool animations that can be turned off is the wearer wishes to do so.
You have 4 options to choose from in regards to band and face color, but all options feature a fully stainless case, band, and clasp. All the usual bells and whistles apply with the Kisai Zone, just as they do with the rest of the Tokyoflash timepieces.

That portion of the highway, which doubles as Rico's main street, was closed after a late-afternoon explosion at a Commercial St. residence of Douglas Markey, 56, one block behind the Rico Hotel.
"Markey sustained injuries to his hand while detonating [a] homemade improvised explosive," according to a press release issued by the Dolores County Sheriff's Office Friday morning.
After the explosion, Markey was able to drive from his residence to Mountaintop Fuel and Market, and was transported by Air Care to Mercy Medical Hospital, in Durango.
Officials, concerned by reports of "numerous explosive devices in the victim's vehicle," a black truck parked parked outside the gas station/convenience store, its windows blown out in the explosion, called in a Farmington, NM, bomb squad to remove the explosive devices from the vehicle.
Using a robot, squad members removed similar explosive devices from a Rico residence, as well, and investigated liquids in barrels in front of the home, as well.
Markey has a criminal history "involving incendiary devices, including possession of explosive devices," according to the sheriff's office press release.
"The incident was determined to not be an intentional threat to society," it further stated.
Markey is believed to live in Hobbs, NM; the devices "were thought to be manufactured in New Mexico and transported to the Rico area," where he was attending a family gathering.
Sheriff's officers were joined by members of the Rico Fire and Rescue and Colorado State Patrol in responding to the incident.
Sheriff's officers are a one-hour drive from home-rule municipality Rico, which registered 205 residents in the 2000 census; about 13.2 percent of those families live below the poverty line, with a per capita income of $21,920.

The Sacramento Kings Foundation's primary grant program is for schools within the region that have needs in areas of math, science, art or fitness. In 2012 more than 62 schools received support reaching more than 15,000 in our region. The next cycle of grants will take place in the spring of 2014.
The Sacramento Kings partner with Sacramento County Office of Education to help recognize the top teachers in Sacramento County. The teachers identified as "Sacramento County Teachers of the Year" by SCOE are invited to a designated "Teacher Appreciation Night" Kings game where they are recognized on-court for their efforts in the classroom.

Health & Wellness
Supporting health and wellness is important to every facet of our organization. Whether it's our players, Team Members, fans or community, providing support to initiatives that can enhance quality of life is of the utmost importance to us. We are proud of the programs we provide our community's youth to stay active and continue to offer health clinics to promote the complete wellness of our community.
Wellness Clinics
The Sacramento Kings will host quarterly Wellness Clinics at the arena. These clinics offer the ability to give blood, receive flu shots and obtain medical advice for staying healthy. Please stay tuned for upcoming clinics.
Youth & Family
Youth & Family initiatives are the fabric of our community. Our entire organization, along with partners and fans, comes together to support our community's youth and their families. We make sure the holidays are a little brighter, our youth have the tools they need to be the philanthropic leaders of tomorrow and a way for our fans to celebrate their personal milestones with us while making a difference in the community.
Each holiday season the Sacramento Kings spread holiday cheer throughout the Sacramento community through the Season of Giving initiative. Kings players, Dancers, Slamson and 'Team Member volunteers' participate in charitable giving and holiday fun benefiting children and families throughout the region. Activities include a Thanksgiving dinner celebration, children's hospital visits, shopping sprees, toy and bike donations, and holiday food distribution.

The Sacramento Kings recognize youth of our community are the future of the NBA. With that in mind, we developed the Jr. Kings program. The Jr. Kings program provides an opportunity for teams and groups of kids (18 and under) to attend a Sacramento Kings game and receive a number of additional benefits! The Jr. Kings program is a great way for youngsters in the Sacramento region to unite and interact with the Kings.
